Wulong Cave National Forest Park

Wulong Cave National Forest Park

Wulong Cave National Forest Park is a national AAA-level tourist attraction and a national forest park.

Wulong Cave National Forest Park is located at the junction of Linzhou City, Weihui, and Qixian County, covering an area of 2,525 hectares. It features undulating peaks, continuous mountain ranges, beautiful waterscapes, and numerous secluded caves. Wulong Cave is about 100 meters high, with the widest point reaching 60 meters and the highest point up to 40 meters. The stalactites inside come in diverse shapes and forms. Exiting Gongtongtian Cave, you can see Crocodile Rock, Divine Rock, listen to the Golden Rooster Announcing Dawn (rock), and gaze at the Five Hundred Arhats Cliff. The various unique rock formations and cliff landscape geology embody the ambiance of ancient caves, peculiar rocks, and serene forests. The area spans over 200 square meters, with the main hall capable of accommodating more than 2,000 people. The sight of the myriad-shaped stalactites makes visitors feel as if they are in a fairyland. Legend has it that in ancient times, a village girl washed the Taoist robe for a Taoist priest and accidentally swallowed five thread ends, which led to her pregnancy. She later gave birth to five little dragons inside the cave.

Another highlight of the park is the Natural Bridge. Passing through the mountain gate guarded by the Four Great Heavenly Kings (rocks), you will reach the Natural Bridge. The bridge is the highest in North China and is unique in northern China. The bridge is 20 meters high, 30 meters in span, and 4 meters wide. Legend has it that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet here on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year to share their deep affection.

Opposite Wulong Cave, there is also a natural karst cave on the cliff wall, called Yaowang Cave, which extends several dozen meters deep. Legend has it that the ancient medicinal sage Sun Simiao often traveled here and frequently stayed overnight.
